### Summary
The fragile new relationship between Hong Seol and Yoo Jung, already strained by Jung's manipulative history, is re-contextualized through a significant flashback. This new chapter reveals a previously unknown shared childhood connection between Seol, Jung, and his rival, Inho Baek, suggesting a fated "invisible string" has tied them together long before their university encounters. The flashback specifically revisits a poignant moment where their paths crossed during a time of grief for Seol, following the death of her grandmother. Furthermore, the narrative delves into Jung's own troubled past, exposing the immense pressure from his father, who is depicted as a selfish figure forcing his son into a premature and distorted adulthood. This revelation provides a crucial origin for Jung's manipulative tendencies, framing them as a product of his upbringing and positioning his father as the primary cause of his flawed character, shifting the focus from their present romantic turmoil to the deep-seated historical roots of their complex dynamic.
